QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) but what if it's an old gun that hasn't been collected and set with a biometric id? i don't see how you can get all those guns rounded up. but i'm not against what you are saying and it would help with all purchases going forward so its a win. If it wasn't rounded up, it would be considered unlicensed and illegal. Mom would be a felon.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) I love your idea but gun manufacturers would never go for it. It would kill their bottom line. They'd sell more guns. You'd have to buy an additional one for Junior in order to go hunting.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) i guess that goes back to 'gun shows' and free for all gun buying with no checks. still, that wouldn't have stopped the shooting in question. i guess the guy took his moms hunter rifle and use that to kill. it's likely that she could legally buy a gun. His mom's rifle woudn't have been usable for him. Only she would have been able to use it.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) most criminals steal guns or buy them from straw buyers. what you are suggesting doesn't fix anything. Guns will become closer regulated. People who are legal gun owners won't get punished and it makes illegal purchases even more severe.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) so someone buys a hunting rifle from Walmart, the rifle gets stolen by a criminal, and criminal shoots someone. who goes to jail? obviously not the shooter because it's the guns fault. but who at Warlmart goes to jail? CEO? Sales Clerk? Criminal can't use it because it's not biometrically set for him to able to use it.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) it's actually the sensible solution compared to your magical ban on hunting rifles and super duper magical removal of all firing instruments form the planet. All weapons in circulation should be required to be retrofitted with the biometrics of the person who has a license for them. ANY sales of weapons should require a license and should only be for personal use. Non-compliance is an automatic felony.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) he has a point. we have "no fly" lists for people that match a terrorist profile. we need to have a similar program to combat these left wing extremists that keep going on these mass shootings. I still doubt that they are left-wing, let alone any-wing. They're off their rocker.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) ...and yet another senseless massacre that could have been stopped with a left wing loon tracking system. The solution is so simple but it hasn't been enacted yet. If he loves firing weapons, wouldn't it make him a right-wing loon?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 05:57 PM) I just started masturbating. QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) prove it

They deactivate old war weapons for collectors and no one has a problem. How would it be any different for old guns?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 03:26 PM) How dangerous is a "gang member" without a gun? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M21-q1qmSDo/Sb_C...ide-story-2.jpg

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) not without removing the 300M+ guns currently in the US without this technology They gave people cash for their cars. How about guns?

Do you think that his would help? http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/f..._ppk_s_gun.html

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 02:23 PM) Josh Hamilton to the Angels http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/12/ange...aring-deal.html Probably not Sox news. I bet that there's postings about it in the Diamond Club, however.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 01:06 PM) In fairness, I thought you'd be more popular.... What he said...

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) That's the same thing I heard about Dwight. He's Derrick's friend, they're Adidas buddies! Finding videos and quotes in the media in an attempt to convince themselves that Dwight to Chicago could happen. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...the fool can't get fooled again. Yeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!

Did this thread turn into gay porn?

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) The Brandon McCarthy signing was also confusing. They are stacked in the rotation and ton of young starting pitching talent coming up. I guess you can never have enough pitching. Kennedy, Cahill, Hudson, McCarthy, Skaggs, Corbin, Miley, Collmenter. They have by far the most starting pitching to deal. Just not sure Bauer for shortstop Didi Gregorius was the right move. Towers has always been shaky as a GM. I'd be interested in Collmenter as a RHP option. He was misused in the bullpen last year and his bb to k ratio is excellent.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) Too flat and bare-bones a story... and the Bourne movies have been better? I hope those two lines weren't supposed to be related. I enjoyed the Bourne movies, but the story lines are as simple as they come. James Bond movies are supposed to be fanciful and outlandish. They've gotten rid of that. The Bourne movies have done what the most recent Bond movies have done - they've just done it better.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) I must be in the minority, but SKYFALL was mostly boring. The last 45 was great but the rest, outside of the open, was just ugh. It was a very flat story; too bare-bones to be a James Bond movie. The Bourne movies have been better.

I'm so sorry, HH.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) This was going to be my suggestion, just talk to each other and come up with a limit or ballpark. It could be weird but you'd rather do that then have someone show up with a $25 gift and someone show up with a $150 gift because it wasn't discussed beforehand. You can't go over by much if at all, or it's just terribly awkward for her, and she could actually get upset. You're not being a nicer guy by doing so. I'll probably talk to her about it ahead of time and gauge response. She said like, $50, but I ended up spending about $100.
